CNN: Still no comment on Roland Martin

Though Martin’s homophobic outburst surfaced on social media two days ago, CNN hasn’t issued a statement yet. It hasn’t even issued its famous little press release about how a contributor may have “viewpoints” that trouble others.

“They haven’t responded to requests for comment from us. We think it’s important for the public to hear from them,” says Herndon Graddick, a spokesman for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (Graddick formerly worked for CNN). “Every 15-year-old knows what ’whip the ass of the guy in the pink suit’ is code for.”
